I can understand the siege mentality, us against the big clubs, Good Old Khaled speaks for us, you tell 'em Khaled etc

"Absolutely robbed by the referee. This is just so evident, it's too obvious"

The referee and the VAR panel has made mistakes, as we all have, but to rant about the ref in this manner sets an example to fans, particularly young fans or those inclined to poor behaviour, that the abuse of referees is OK. Be careful what you wish for regarding the manner refs are treated during and after games, with players confronting them on the pitch with faces twisted with rage, coaches running on the pitch to argue and CEO's ranting at their performance. It all causes me to be concerned about the consequent future pool of referees. Refs are leaving the grass roots game in droves.

The extreme end result of where this "lets all abuse the ref" leads will be more of the scenes such as those at Budapest Airport.
